Itinéraire : Halfmoon bay - Smuggler Cove - Bucaneer Bay - Vaucroft beach - pointe ouest de l'île de Thormanby nord en aller-retour
Journée de kayak de mer sur la presqu'île de Sechelt, au départ de Halfmoon bay vers la péninsule éponyme du parc marin de Smuggler Cove puis les îles de Thormanby à l'ouest, surtout réputées pour leurs plages de sable , denrée rare en Colombie Britannique. On profitera de conditions idéales pour caboter à la recherche de la faune, riche et variée en ses lieux : soleil généreux toute la journée, pas de vent, mer généralement d'huile et températures douces dans l'air et pas si froides dans l'eau. On croisera effectivement d'innombrables phoques, museaux qui dépassent dans l'eau ou affalés au soleil sur les îlots, blancs, gris ou nuancés des 2, gros comme des veaux ou des chiens, craintifs ou curieux, mais dont les moustaches et les yeux noirs ne peuvent qu'attirer la sympathie ! Mention spéciale pour la pointe nord-ouest des îles de Thormanby, où l'on verra non seulement des phoques... et otaries, mais aussi un couple de pyrargues qui nous gratifiera d'un vol d'intimidation en rase-mottes !
